Well after the easy going run of yesterday (it must have been easy as the heart rate monitor showed an average of around 129 bpm and a normal run would be around 145) it seemed a good idea to have a shorter run tonight.

It was a good idea as a stress buster too. A group of senior doctors had been compelled to attend a meeting on appraisal, despite the fact that several had been appraisers or had taught appraisal to others. What a waste of time, but somebody gets to tick a box!

Anyway it was a lot cooler this evening, so finally the gloves had to come out and the warm headphones.

It was supposed to be a gentle run, but it is difficult to hold back especially once your mind drifts. It was running the last mile with calf twinges that reminded me that this is supposed to be a taper down for the GNR.

Once again, lots of other runners out.
